most people are likely to know how to get to linked in, but your webserver... not so much.

Point taken, though my GitHub page is right under LinkedIn for the common spelling of my name on unbubbled google search. Also, you can figure out the right spelling by skimming the top ten of the other spelling’s results (oddly, LinkedIn is the top hit for both spellings).

I mostly just crosslink across reputable, indexable domains and make sure the same keywords show up everywhere that’s possible. :-)

But, yeah, nothing seems to think my web server should be in the top ten of any keyword search.

I think there is a misunderstanding here. Things work the other way around. People do not seek you, linked in takes you to them.

A recruiter more often is looking for people with your skillset, than looking for you specifically.

In other words they are not typing in your name into a search engine, they are typing "aws architect python" etc.

If they were seeking you specifically, they probably already know enough about you and will just get to emailing you directly.

Really? I think most people still know how to go to a website (they might go there by googling the url but that is another matter).

one thing to know, another not to have to know
